lastchance,
I have three of his reels from a 3/4 to the 5/6. The only thing "cheap" about them is the price, in my opinion. They are as smooth as butter and have not given me any problems and I have been using them for about 3 years now. On one of the 5/6 reels I had him etch the "Adams" fly on it and it sure is good looking. I am not much for having my name on items but I love the "Adams" etched on the reel. When you consider that his prices include shipping, you cannot go wrong. I have met David and he is 100% committed to customer service and you cannot ask for a nicer guy to be around. He has a big heart and truely believes in "giving back" to the fly fishing world.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
